It’s a good week to be Elizabeth Berkley. Earlier this week, it was announced that the former “Saved by the Bell” and “Showgirls” star will appear on “CSI: Miami;” she is also set to host a Bravo dance show called “Step It Up and Dance.” Contestants on this reality show will have to master a variety of dance styles, including ballroom, ballet and burlesque (that’s a lot of B’s!). Tony award-winning choreographer Jerry Mitchell (“La Cage aux Folles”) will be on hand to mentor the contestants. No word yet on when the series will air.
Julianne Hough and Helio Castroneves are setting the record straight about their relationship. Julianne Hough told People magazine, “Oh my gosh! No! I love Helio like he is my brother. We are the best of friends.”
Following his win on “Dancing with the Stars,” Helio Castroneves recently confirmed that he and his fiancée Aliette Vazquez had broken up. Then the rumors started… and Helio and Julianne were pegged as a romantic couple. Guess it’s just not true though!
You knew it was only a matter of time before Marie Osmond started peddling a “Dancing with the Stars” doll. Well, that time is now.
Today on QVC, Marie Osmond will introduce her “Dancing with the Stars” inspired dolls, wearing the same outfits that Osmond wore on the show. The Boogie Woogie doll, the Paso Doble doll, the Quickstep doll and (of course!) the Freestyle doll made infamous by Marie Osmond’s finale performance.
These are hot sellers – the samba doll and the fox trot doll sold out in just eight minutes during an earlier installment on QVC.
Pam Anderson has had a fairly significant television career: “Baywatch,” “Home Improvement,” “V.I.P,” and “Stacked”…but she has since gone the way of the Vegas magic show. And now, it seems, Pamela Anderson is ready to pack it all in and head for retirement.
According to Anderson, she plans to retire in five years. “I get offers to do movies and TV all the time. I say no to everything. Drives my agent crazy. But I’m lazy. I don’t want to work. I want to be with my kids. So I just fly in from L.A., do a few days of shows and go back home. Five more years of [T&A] and I’ll go back to Canada. I’ve got some land. It’ll be time.”
Kids know who’s naughty and nice on the celebrity scene… a new poll of 1,107 children found that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton made their naughty list, while Hannah Montana was considered nice. Among kids ages 2 to 12, Hanna Montana (Miley Cyrus) was the “nicest,” while kids ages 13 to 17 put Angelina Jolie at the top of their nice list.
Britney Spears and Paris Hilton were even found to be more naughty than characters Swiper the Fox, the Grinch and Darth Vader, among kids 2 to 12 years old. The teenagers, however, ranked Lindsay Lohan as their third naughtiest behind the pop tart and the heiress.
Straight from Vanessa Hudgens’ mouth – “High School Musical 3” will center around the prom. According to Hudgens, “It’s their senior year, so there’s going to be graduation – and prom!”
Interesting tidbit from “High School Musical 3” director, Kenny Ortega, though who says, “I have a feeling this will be the end [for the current stars]. This franchise may move to another generation!”
Did you catch last night’s “Shrek the Halls”? Funny, no? Well, “Shrek the Halls” did win the ratings for the night, pulling in 21.07 million viewers, but is it an instant classic?
